An art ecological platform for global artists and new forces. Promote world art exchanges and cooperation. In the future, through exhibitions, art derivatives and other forms, more outstanding artists and works of art will enter the city and space, bringing more possibilities for art.
What its rules say about promotion
This is not a marketplace
No posts soliciting commissions, buying or selling or speculating on value. Comments replying with interest in purchasing art or supporting artists are welcome. Subreddit hosted art auction threads may be hosted occasionally.
No spamming
Unreasonably reposting the same artwork and egregious self-promotion will not be tolerated.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Keep AI contained
No AI Art and no AI Discussion outside of designated, official threads. AI, both as a tool and as a subject, is highly contentious and quickly becomes all-consuming, raising emotionally-charged, existential questions about the meaning of art and being an artist. Art is about confronting questions like these head on. For r/Artists to be a place that shapes discussion for artists, AI can neither be denied nor fixated upon. AI content and discussion will be removed outside of official threads.
All 10 rules of r/Artists
- Keep feedback constructive
Art is a kindred quest. Whether you make art to encounter yourself or to encounter others, r/Artists is a place where we come together to share in the journey. Critique the art. Encourage the artist. Receive feedback graciously. - Keep AI contained

If you want to be an artist, be an artist. While there are plenty of places online to look like an artist, r/Artists is a place for becoming a better artist. This requires earnest commitment to the creative process, not just the creative product. Simplicity in art is an achievement, not an accident. - Nudity is not the main character
If there is nudity in your artwork, tag it as NSFW. If the sole or primary purpose of the artwork appears to be sexual, it may be reported and removed. - Properly credit all artwork
Discussion belongs in r/Artists. Keep it relevant and treat conversation like a craft you commit to. Posts that open up conversations about the pursuit and philosophy of art are welcome. Posts that are baiting, low effort, mocking, or bullying are not. Be kind to each other and intellectually honest about the topic. - Respect the art of conversation

Posts that are baiting, low effort, mocking, or bullying are not. Be kind to each other and intellectually honest about the topic. - When in doubt, state your case
Part of being an artist is provocation and discussion. If you have a post you feel might be a violation of any of the above rules, state your case in a comment immediately after posting and it will be considered. Violating posts without a stated case will not be considered. - Respect Reddit’s Rules
Follow Reddit’s platform rules. If you don’t know them, they are outlined here: https://redditinc.com/policies/reddit-rules
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
